About

G’day and welcome to PlanesNStuff! We’re the PlanesNStuff team: lifelong aviation enthusiasts (some would say aviation tragics) based in Australia. If you can’t help looking up when you hear an engine overhead, you’re in good company here.

This blog is for anyone who loves aircraft, whether you’re a seasoned pilot, a weekend airshow regular, a drone or RC flyer, or simply curious about how these remarkable machines stay in the air.

What we write about

  • Aviation history: the Golden Age, the First and Second World Wars, and Australian and RAAF history.
  • Famous aircraft: profiles of the aeroplanes that made their mark.
  • How it works: lift, engines and instruments, explained simply.
  • Airshows and events: guides to Australian airshows and event round-ups.
  • Drones: beginner guides, the rules and research-based round-ups.
  • RC aircraft: getting started, trainer models and simulators.
  • Flight sims: getting airborne from your desk.
  • Gear and gifts: research-based round-ups and gift guides for aviation lovers.

Our aviation art

We also create original aviation art posters. Our first design is the “I’m Not Old, I’m a Classic” biplane poster, a polished chrome vintage biplane in front of a retro striped sunset. It’s available on Etsy, and you can see more on our Art Shop page. More designs are on the way.
